NEW YORK, Sept. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Marie Claire and Glam Media (Glam.com) announce that Marie Claire Editor-in-Chief Joanna Coles and the magazine's fashion team will chronicle Milan and Paris Fashion Weeks (September 25 - October 9) on Glam.com. "The Diary of a Marie Claire Fashionista" blog -- a daily report on trends hot off the runways, behind-the-scene looks, and more -- is part of the magazine's profile on Glam.com's new service, GlamSpace.

Marie Claire will be the first magazine to launch its blog and profile on GlamSpace -- a social network where fashion fans can connect with top trends, designers, and, now, magazines and editors. Coles, along with Tracy Taylor, Fashion Director; Kathryn Floyd, Accessories Editor; Joyce Corrigan, Editor at Large; and Paul Martinez, Creative Director, will be offering their expert opinions direct from the runway shows.

GlamSpace is a groundbreaking publishing platform that brings together magazine-branded profiles and fashion fan profiles to build the first online community of people passionate about fashion and style. Glam Media recently announced that it now ranks as the #1 online fashion magazine, with over 6.1 million global unique visitors.

With the launch of the Marie Claire profile and blogs on Glam.com, Coles is leading the charge in bringing the voice of top editors to a captive online audience. "We're going to give our immediate impressions before we've had time to be diplomatic, tell you which shows drafted clappers (to applaud at certain outfits) and tell you which pieces to run out and order now so you won't have to sit on the waitlist next spring," says Coles. "We're bringing the whole, glorious insanity of Milan and Paris to Glam.com without you having to elbow another fashionista to the ground for a cab."

"We are thrilled that Marie Claire is the first magazine to seize the opportunity to reach fashionistas online via GlamSpace," said Samir Arora, Founder and Chairman of Glam Media. "Glam.com is emerging as a one-of-a-kind fashion media hub that combines authentic and interactive fashion editorial, blogs and tools to allow everyone to search and find any published fashion content they desire."
